Does the import api have a file size limit? I'm trying to upload a ~36mb file, and I keep getting broken pipe in ruby (Faraday) and curl almost instantly when I initiate the multipart form POST request. Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Hey @cloudev0 

 

At the moment, the file size limit is 20 megabytes for bulk mutations. We're going to review the documentation to have this made more clear in the future.

I ended up rotating files when writing the mutation data (think log rotation, with each file having 20mb max), then chain upload the files. Upload first file. Wait for Webhook. When Webhook comes, respond and upload the next file and so on.

@cloudev0 If I may ask, what's the average import speed/rate you get doing that?

So how are we supposed to get around this problem without having to do multiple bulk mutations???
